Dublin, Nov. 06, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dpxnwt/combination) has announced the addition of the "Combination Inhalers for Upper Airway Diseases" report to their offering.
Combination inhalers for upper airway diseases - oral inhalers containing two drugs that complement the therapeutic actions of one another - have seen a significant increase in development activity and product proliferation in the past five years. Growth is being driven by improved patient experience as derived from ease-of use (fewer devices/medications to administer) and for many patients improved control of symptoms associated with upper airway diseases. Combination inhalers most commonly consist of an inhaled corticosteroid in combination with a bronchodilator. These products are realizing significant commercial success in the two markets for which they are indicated - Asthma and COPD - both of which are forecast to grow at impressive rates for the remainder of the decade.
